I've had quite a few pm's since i've posted here, encouraging me to try my hand and writing comedy/staring some kind of blog.
I've learned that the Thunderdome is pretty much the most honest place on the planet, so please don't hold back.
Considering I only really give half of what I write here much thought anyway - do I have what it takes to write???
-
My sister has recently been signed by a huge publisher, as a result of her own writing online - so I figured there could be some decent coin involved - hence this thread :D
-
I already stole half your material here and bought myself another yacht.
-
Lots of money in the gay erotica market after 50 shades, use that work holiday break for a trip to Uganda for inspiration.
-
Your crap, your funny is crap, your writing is crap, your blog will be crap, your sister is crap, I have to crap. :D
Dude, go for it!!
-
Thanks- did not read.
-
You should. I'm thinking of starting standup perhaps.
-
Off to bed fellas - hopefully my dreams are shattered by the time I read this thread in the morning.
Sleep tight (obviously not you shizzo, sleep gaped as usual).

Try it sitting down first, in case you don't like it.

Lol. I m sure you wind be a hit with the blind, fingerless demographic.

That joke would nearly provoke a lol, if you weren't so excited to post it you wrote 'wind' instead of would.
-
This creative venture will be good for you even if not financially rewarding. Good luck.

Sorry, I was distracted. The wind was making my gape whistle.
-
Thanks bro, some good points there. Don't watch the lazy writing style, as I mentioned, I don't go over my posts once typed for the first time.
I spent around 6 years working for Local Government before being involved in Shipping. 25% of my day job involved editing the Council's press releases, so I can write perfectly when required.

Much better ;D.

Go for it man, I'll be reading it.

Maybe you can lend Cyp some advice on running a kickstarter and begging for money from getbiggers like a dust-covered child laborer in early industrial London?
-
Would read and likely LOL. BigCyp is a man I would buy a beer for in the pub and then laugh as he shames me with verbal assaults.

No. Perfectly honest. I like you and think you are a cool dude, but I find you repetitive.
-
Just do a trial run and reassess.
-
Looks like BigCyp isnt as high on the foodchain as he thinks. ;D
-
Go for it bro. If its just for shits and giggles, why not. You have a solid career, beautiful family, a well rounded life. This could be a fun hobby for you.
When it comes down to pure comedy wit, BigCyp is king.

You really think so ?
I got nothing against cyp, but he did say be brutally honest...not kiss his ass. 99% of his posts are refried squad insults circa 2007, at at times quite clunky to read....or the ubiquitous "Ugandan sailor". Show some range, and different writings styles....not the same shit every day if you want to interest people soley on your writing.

Being completely unbiased, I really think he doesn't take this forum seriously enough to practice his "range" or "writing styles." Some guys here put a lot of effort into every post, and while they make great contributors, I feel Cyp's humor is effortless and funny. Yeah it's low brow humor, but I'm 25, and have to work in a clinical setting at school for 10 hours a day wearing dress clothes and a lab coat....sometimes at the end of the day I like to kick back and appreciate a good Ugandan penis joke. (self- edited before one of you cocksuckers could edit that for me :D)
I think it would be silly to try to post on here to impress others, (to show off)...i think he just is here for fun. But if he wnted to polish his skills and pursure something in a more serious manner, i think he could do decent. I think Cyp is a smart guy and if this is just a causal hobby, why not pursue it.
While my thoughts are genuine and I have no intention to kiss his ass, just merely give my opinion, I will balance out my post by saying Cyp is a Grade A Douchebag of the highest order. 8)
-
Thanks Chiro, and especially Groink - that's exactly the kind of feedback i'm talking about.
I'm repetetive for a reason though....I haven't got the time to ponder my replies here too much (I actually post mostly at work haha epic productivity levels).
Ok, this week i'll abstain from any classic BigCyp jokes and see how I get on.
-

Never said I was high on the foodchain...that post says more about you than me.

il form a duo with you :-*

Hahaha yes bigmc, we could call it 'The only way is Enthanate' (it's a. Brit thing lol).
-
I wish more posters on here would think about taking up blogging
-
It will be more of a current affairs blog with a section for recipies/healthy living, local and national news, and maybe a section about my illness.
You can't really 'do getbig' outside of getbig, so the comedy will be encased in the writing. I can't really see joe public logging in and being impressed with a news article entitled 'BP appeals to Cameron over spill costs' to scroll down and i've written: I bet Dave Cummedon is just relieved Nick Clegg isn't appealing over dry cleaning costs for the back of his trousers, oh brother.
Not everyone gets us here.

Just wordpress for now. They have a premium option on offer for around 15 pounds per year you get a .com domain, instead of .wordpress.com. I might go for that.
My sister started blogging in Feb 2012 and she landed a book deal with Penguin Books last week...makes you think.
-
You are one of the funniest bastards ever, you should definitely go for it!

if you get the hook-up let 'em know you got a friend called dj who is well quipped with writing romantic verses

BigCyp is a man with natural talent, no doubt about it.... ;D
-
Nothing ventured, ... capital saved.
But honestly, go for it. There's never been a better time to be a writer. Self-publish until the big names come calling. Doesn't cost you anything and, as I'm assuming this is a hobby for you, you won't mind putting in a lot of unpaid hours.
Just don't give up your day job yet. Do it like me: get a day job that allows you to fritter away your hours on GB -- or on your writing.
I actually started writing a novel zombie novel (one not set in the US, funny, and without ridiculous weaponry), but quit after page 1. Zombies are so played out. Trying to think of something new.
-
I'm going to start a daily supplement on the Nutrition Board called 'BigCyp's Frugal Fitness - BB meals for less than £1 ($1.50)'
Not too much comedy involved but, i'd like to get into the habit of having to put something together ona regular basis.
For anyone on a tight budget, there's going to be some very tasty ways to diet on less than £20 a week!

Which means..........Do It!

Thanks for the encouraging words Mike!

No worries, give me a ring on my mobile and we can chat. ;)
-
I have always said that you could be a stand up comedian BigCyp. Comedy comes natural to you. I know you have also got a serious side too and I think that you should follow your heart and just go for it.
-
Instead of writing and hoping for a book deal, why not just write chapters and later edit in book format and e-publish it yourself? Lots of people do that. As long as you don't expect to become the next Jackie Collins you should be happy.

Banter to you is just one line insults devoid of any intelligent thought.
You wont be missed.
-
Well, you'll need an angle to stand out among the other million bloggers who think they're the next Louis CK. Good luck.

Stop trying to 'project' as you sit seething at your keyboard unsure of what the future holds.

you are absolutely hilaroius and very smart guy,and spontaneus humour.
what you need is not a blog,but a good promoter.
but comedy business -sadly- dont work like that,unless you get to self promote and fill locations, ussualy its a staff team with joke writers, a pr agency and then a semi artist,semi comedian presenting the jokes from the jokes wwriters.
agreed :)

That is because every other Zombie film is just about dead walking like retards, or running and screeching like retards, whereas George Romero was making a point/making fun of society while scary us a bit

One particular genre of movie I always feel I could write better than Hollywood is comedy, I mean when was the last time you really, REALLY laughed?I think the last for me was Borat, and before that I can't even remember.Maybe it's blind naivety but how hard can it really be to get a few laughs?same with TV commercials, it gets extremely irritating watching the crap forced humor that is completely unfunny over and over ,that its actually a talking point and surprise when you see a good one.
-
agreed :)
I have written professionally as well.

Hangover #1 was the last movie I saw that I really thought was funny. Haven't really been to much in the last few years though.

Haha, yes it sounds like the opportunity cost of leaving the house was just a bit too high for "dr. chimps" taste :D
